Pioneer Theatre Guild: Ragtime (Publicity Shoot)

I’m often apprehensive when taking large group portraits — positioning each person so the group has visual coherence, working quickly so no one loses patience, and getting everyone to face the camera at the same time (preferably with their eyes open). But no matter what I do, there always seem...

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Seussical (Publicity Shoot)

Pioneer Theatre Guild’s Seussical had a wildly successful opening last Saturday night. And after an ambitious run of four more fantastical performances this weekend, it will be over. Just like that. No more cat. No more hat. Do not blink, nor even wink. And don’t even think of going “kerplink”...

Burns Park Players: Getting Ready to Succeed!

Based on my extensive reconnoitering activities over the past several weeks, I can confidently declare that the Burns Park Players are gonna hit yet another home run with their production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Hairspray (Publicity Shoot)

Earlier in the month, a handful of Hairspray characters from the Pioneer Theatre Guild’s upcoming musical came to my studio to collaborate on some tasty, leaving-me-wanting-more publicity photos. As usual, I was blown away by the talent and energy of the kids, and how perfectly each was suited to his...

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Oklahoma! (Publicity Shoot)

While we were briskly walking to the publicity shoot location at beautiful Greenview Park, I actually broke into song: “The hills are alive with the sound of music…” However, since the clouds were dark and menacing, perhaps I should have been singing “Here comes the rain again…” Indeed, nearly 15...

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Urinetown (Publicity Shoot)

Today’s publicity shoot for the Pioneer Theatre Guild’s spring musical Urinetown took me deep into the dank, fetid underbelly of our public school system. The dueling stenches (of human waste and industrial cleaning products) forced me to hold my nose more than a few times. (In truth, there weren’t really...

Since I’m neck-deep in senior pictures and family portraits, I’m very grateful and happy to let producer Susan Hurwitz do most of the talking on this entry. But let me just say that the kids made this publicity shoot a cinch. At one point I was so amazed with how...

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Willy Wonka (Publicity Shoot)

An all new stage version of Willy Wonka is coming out. And Pioneer Theatre Guild (PTG) will be among the first theater companies in the world to perform it! Ennui in Paradise? Last week I shot press-release photographs for the show. Even before I got to the shoot, I knew the kids...

Pioneer Theatre Guild: Thoroughly Modern Millie (Publicity Shoot)

Last Thursday I took a “break” from my regularly scheduled programming (shooting high school senior and family portraits) to shoot press photos for the Pioneer Theatre Guild’s upcoming production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Working with the Guild’s multi-talented cast and crew on publicity shots is always a thrill. And for this...
